🧭 Your Journey Host

Nathan Ellingson

Nathan Ellingson

Welcome! Here you will find my personal reflections on life, photos for my book, and fun and inspirational videos. I am a US Air Force veteran, writer, musician, web developer, aspiring photographer, and father of three living in rural Wisconsin. I find philosophy in night walks with my dog and meaning in the world around me, one photograph at a time. When I’m not writing or taking photos, you’ll find me diving into Marvel, Doctor Who, Star Trek or flipping through my vinyl collection for whatever record is keeping me sane. MyAnthologyOfThoughts is my collection of images and reflections on life, humanity, and the journey home. Pull up a chair, drop the needle, and enjoy. I’m happy you’re here!

Fuel the Journey

If my writing, photography, or videos have brought you something worthwhile, feel free to buy me a cup of tea. It means more than you know.
